At the time of her death she was still broadcasting and giving advice on a variety of subjects. As you might imagine, I had many ar- eas of disagreement with her because she believed in a number things that are opposed to the teaching of Christ and the Catholic Church. For exam- ple, she accepted divorce and remarriage as well as artificial contraception. At the same time, I must say she was a superb listener and had a great talent of get- ting people to come to the point. She also treated her listeners with respect and dignity. In this article I want to reflect on three of her key ideas that I believe are very useful in the living of the Christian life. One piece of advice that was a con- stant with her was the principle of Stupid and Cheerful. I have found this very useful in a variety of situations. It goes like this. You are minding your own business and are confronted by someone who wants to stir up some kind of trouble. He or she is angry because what someone did or didn't do—and they want to bring you into the fray. It even may be that they want to criticize you or a friend or relative. Instead of getting involved, you simply act as if you knew nothing about the matter at hand and be kind and pleasant. You might be sur- prised how often it works! It's a new twist to the old biblical principle, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words make tempers flare.”(Proverbs 15:1) A great piece of advice was: Don't Start World War III. This is an absolute gem and can be used by everybody! Let me give you just two examples. You didn't get invited to a party at your in-laws and your feelings are hurt because you feel they never liked you anyway. Instead of making a big fuss, keep your mouth shut and enjoy a free day. Avoid a family ruckus. Help your marriage by letting something pass. Create your own happiness and don't depend on the af- firmation of relatives or in-laws. Another good example is preserving peace and tranquility. Peace in the family is a priority. Don't disrupt that peace over unnecessary fighting. What they name the new baby is the parents' business—not yours. Avoid taking sides in family disputes—pray for the parties, listen and keep your opinions to yourself. You don't need to join the fight. There are, of course, situations in which a follower of Christ has to speak up. We can never countenance or even give the appearance of approving moral evil, but we don't need to be troublemakers or self-righteous people. After all, as St. Paul says "charity is the bond of perfection." (Col 3:14) Joy Browne was noted for the "dreaded one year rule." Basically she thought that if you left a serious relationship, you should not get into a new one for at least a year. I think this is debatable—but there is a wisdom behind it. People are often so hurt after a breakup that they almost immediately look for another relationship—and sometimes this is simply a band-aid ap- proach. Whether or not you agree, the point is that human beings need to be honest with them- selves and avoid a quick fix approach to the very complex matter of human relationships. Fol- lowers of Christ must always keep in mind that marriage is a sacred relationship between a man and woman and should be entered into only after prayer, reflection and spiritual preparation. I said a prayer for Dr. Joy Browne when I heard of her death. While we had serious dis- agreements, I learned a lot from her. In Jesus and Mary, Monsignor James M.

September 18, 2016 Catechetical Sunday Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: As the chief catechist of the Diocese of Rockville Centre I am delighted to join you in the cele- bration of Catechetical Sunday 2016! How appropriate it is for us to focus on this year’s theme: “Prayer: The Faith Prayed” as we continue our celebration of the Year of Mercy. This year’s theme reminds me of the adage used so frequently by liturgists for many centuries: lex orandi lex credendi. This Latin phrase states so succinctly the intimate relationship between the law of prayer and the law of belief. What a timely meditation for all of the baptized who are called by Pope Francis to be missionary disciples in the world today. We cannot spread the Gospel if we don’t first pray. We can’t know the Gospel if we do not hear the Word of God proclaimed in our Sunday assemblies. On this Catechetical Sunday we give thanks to all those in our parishes who give their time and talent to bringing the Word to life in our various catechetical programs. We give thanks too for all who strive to make our Sunday liturgies opportunities for our families to gather and pray as one, holy, catholic and universal church here in the Diocese of Rockville Centre as they pray together at Sunday Mass in the parish. As we continue to pray during this Year of Mercy let us reach out to all those who participate in our catechetical programs. Let us provide opportunities for them to come to Sunday Mass to experience the joy of being one with us as we come together each week as the Merciful Body of Christ. With my prayers and best wishes, I am Faithfully yours in Christ, PO Box 9023, Rockville Centre, New York 11571–9023 • telephone 516.678.5800 • fax 516.678.3138 • www.drvc.org ST. PIUS X ENRICHED LIVING FACILITY FUND On September 24th/25th, we will have our special second collection for the retired priests of our Diocese who reside, or are recuperating at St. Pius X Enriched Living Facility in Amityville. The facility accommodates our retired priests who require assistance with daily living, while still allowing them to serve as active, fully engaged members of the community. It also is a place for our priests to go on a tem- porary basis as they recover from illness or other injury. A brochure highlighting the St. Pius X Enriched Living Facility may have been mailed to you, or may be found in church today. Please take a bro- chure and prayerfully consider a donation to the St. Pius X Enriched Living Facility Fund. You may use your envelope to place this donation in the mail or drop in the collection basket next weekend, the weekend of September 24th/25th. On behalf of all the priests serving our Diocese, I thank you for your con- cern and generosity. Monsignor James M. McDonald Pastor The Church of St. Aidan will be pur- chasing 6 new chalices for distribution of the precious blood at Mass. They will be available for memorialization at a cost of $600.00 each.
